Has anyone else tried adding leather to the Flexcut strop? I was wondering how it affects the fine features. I have the thin leather and extra strop but am cautious.

While NOT being an expert at sharpening, I have found that using a WOOD strop will prevent you from rounding over the edge of your tool. The leather is soft enough to cause a small round over of the blade each time you use it. I just put some compound on a (flat or formed) piece of wood, this is easy to use, and easy to replace.
